Justice Minister Judit Varga said the number of Hungarians inoculated against Covid-19 has reached 4.3 million which would not have been possible without acquiring vaccines that have not yet been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
On the sidelines of a meeting of ministers in charge of European Union affairs in Brussels, Minister Varga said Chinese and Russian vaccines received Hungarian approval within the framework of the EU Emergency Use Authorisation system made it possible to vaccinate a large part of the population.
Commenting on the immunity certificates that prove vaccination status, the minister said an agreement is expected by the end of May. The EU would like to introduce the use of such a document on July 1, she added.
